Re: Patch 3.3 - PTR Build 10554

The majority(if not all of them) are obviously placeholders. The elemental one for example reducing Lava burst by 15 seconds when already it has an 8 second cooldown. Then you have the really weak set bonuses vs the obscenely strong ones, it's the first build with set bonuses - let them find a middle ground before complaining.

A bunch of moves which you might not use as often now appear really appealing because of the benefit.

The set bonuses are definately the best yet, whereas T9 was a bit meh compared to T8.

I beg to differ as far as spamming Tricks of the Trade now vs. the 4pc. As it stands now you want to use it every time it comes off cooldown to maximize the amount of times it is used over the course of the fight, and the only thing stopping you from spamming it is to make sure you're not going to need that 15 energy for a finisher to sustain your rotation. With that 4pc you're going to have to make sure using TotT isn't going to cap you on energy which would result in DPS loss. Especially triggering the GCD.

Nothing will really change as far as using it every time it comes off cooldown as you should be now. It's just a trade off of watching for starving your energy vs. capping it.
